1. Open Mac's “Mail” and click the "Create a new account" link.

• If you've already been using Mac Mail, go to "Mail" in the top bar and select "Add Account."

2. Select “Add other mail account...” from the list of account types given.

3. From here it will ask for 4 things: IMAP or POP, Your name, your e-mail address, and your password. Enter all three of those and click "Create."

1. Select IMAP or POP based on your preference.

• IMAP leaves mail on the server and so multiple devices like a phone or computer can access it.

• POP3 downloads all the mail to your computer or device. This prevents your mailbox from filling up on the server.

4. Enter mail.yourdomain.com in the “Mail Server” field.

1. SSL is the default setting for Mac. To use SSL you must use your fully qualified domain name.

• To do that open “Terminal” on your Mac and type the following:
  “ dig mx yourdomain.com”

• Now, to the right of “MX” in the “Answer Section:” it should say something like “mail3.qwknetllc.com.” This is your fully qualified domain name.

        2.  Alternatively, do the following

                    1.  Go to your Control Panel, and click "Domains”

                    2.  Then half way down the list click the "edit" symbol next to "DNS Configuration"

                    3.  You will see and entry with mail.yourdomain.com on the left and something like mail3.qwknetllc.com on the right. The mail3.qwknetllc.com or                             whatever is on the right would be your fully qualified server name.



5. Update the next two fields as well with the following:

• User Name: youremail@yourdomain.com

• Password: You gave me the correct one over the phone

6. Fill in the next 3 fields the same as the previous three. Fill them out EVEN IF THEY ARE LABELED “OPTIONAL.”

• Enter mail.yourdomain.com (or the same as step 4) in the “Mail Server” field.

• User Name: youremail@yourdomain.com

• Password: You gave me the correct one over the phone

You're done!

If you have trouble, click “Mail” in the top bar, “Accounts,” select your account, and then click “Advanced.”

Verify the following:

1. Make sure all spelling on passwords, mail servers, and domain names. (Letters commonly get switched and you might read over it a couple times before you notice!)
2. Then:

                     Incoming Port: 995 (POP with SSL) or 110 (If you chose POP3 in Step 3 no SSL)

                     Incoming Port: 993 (IMAP with SSL) or 143 (If you chose IMAP in Step 3, no SSL)

                     Outgoing Port: 465 with SSL or 587(NOT 25) with No SSL

1. Open Thunderbird and click the "Create a new account" link.

     If you've already been using Thunderbird, go to "Tools" in the top bar and select "Account Settings". From there you will need to click "Account Actions" at the bottom left of the window that pops up and select "Add Mail Account."

2. From here it will ask for 3 things: Your name, your e-mail address, and your password. Enter all three of those and click "Continue."

3. Select IMAP or POP3 based on your preference. IMAP leaves mail on the server and so multiple devices like a phone or computer can access it. POP3 downloads all the mail to your computer or device. This prevents your mailbox from filling up on the server.

4. Click "Manual Config"

5. Use these settings to configure your mail client:

Username/e-mail: youremail@yourdomain.com
Password: You gave me the correct one over the phone
Account Type: IMAP (Most common - Leave all mail on the server and makes a copy) -OR- POP3 (Downloads all e-mail -only accessible from one device-)
Incoming Server name: mail.yourdomain.com -or- Example: mail3.qwknetllc.com
Outgoing Server(SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com -or- Example: mail3.qwknetllc.com
Authentication(if asked):password
SSL: None
Incoming Port: 110 (POP3 Only)
Incoming Port: 143 (IMAP Only)
Outgoing Port: 587 - NOT 25

Although the method above is the easiest way to set up your e-mail, we would recommend using SSL when a device allows for it. This provides extra security to help keep your email secure. It requires changing a few minor settings during or after setup. Here are the changes that are necessary:

-If you wish to use SSL-
If you wish to use SSL you must use the fully qualified name for your mail server instead of mail.yourdomain.com. This can be found by Doing the following:

    1. Go to your Control Panel, and click "Domains"
    2. Then half way down the list click the "edit" symbol next to "DNS Configuration"
    3. You will see and entry with mail.yourdomain.com on the left and something like mail3.qwknetllc.com on the right. The mail3.qwknetllc.com or whatever is on the right would be your fully qualified server name.



For SSL these settings would change:
Incoming Server name: example: mail3.qwknetllc.com

Outgoing Server(SMTP): example: mail3.qwknetllc.com
Incoming Port: 995 (POP3 Only)

Incoming Port: 993 (IMAP Only)

Outgoing Port: 465

- Alternatively -

Call us and provide us with a domain and we'd be happy to let you know which server you're on. You can also start a ticket or request in a ticket to know the server name and we can give it to you there as well.


1. In the top menu select tools, then E-mail Accounts.

2. Make sure 'Add a New Email Account' is highlighted and click next.

3. Select IMAP or POP3 based on your preference. IMAP leaves mail on the server and so multiple devices like a phone or computer can access it. POP3 downloads all the mail to your computer or device. This prevents your mailbox from filling up on the server.

4. Enter the information on your email account and servers, the settings should follow this format:

• Your name: John Doe
• Email Address: john@yourdomain.com
• User name: john@yourdomain.com
• Password: ********
• Incoming Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com
• Outgoing Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com

5. Once all fields are completed you will want to click the 'More Settings' button.

6. Click on the Outgoing Server tab and check the box next to 'Outgoing Server (SMTP) Requires Authentication'.

7. Click on the Advanced tab and change the outgoing port from port 25 to port 587, then click OK.

8. Click next, then finish. You will be able to send and recieve from Outlook 2003 now. Send yourself a test message just to make sure everything is functioning properly.

Email setup on Android phones can vary based on version, manufacturer, and etc. However, most should be very similar and all will need the information given below. Th instruction provided here are specific to the default mail app on more recent versions of android.

Enter your E-mail address and your e-mail password
     Click the "Manual Setup" button

     (IMAP leaves mail on the server and is accessible from multiple devices; this also fills your inbox space. Good for multiple devices like a phone and computer)
     (POP3 - Downloads all mail from the server; only accessible from the device initially used to check the mail. Good for work computers)
Now enter the following information:
Username: email@yourdomain.com
Password: The password you defined when setting up your email on QWK.net servers
Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com (The same for incoming, outgoing, SMTP, etc.)
Skip the port and select either None or SSL/TLS (Using SSL/TLS requires a fully qualified domain name. See details below)
     Click "Next"
Set this server to the same as before
Make sure this port is 587
Outgoing mail requires Authentication, so check "Require Sign-in"
Enter your full Email address in "Username"
